So I wish there were an option to suppress "FREE=CLOSE. Dynalloc concatenate a DD DUMMY to it...? The JCL book says: *FREE=CLOSE* is ignored when: - The data set is a member of a concatenated group Not clear if concatenating after a dynalloc with FREE=CLOSE will inhibit it. Seems reasonable that it would.
